Lost In ReviewsNamed after the 2003 film Lost in Translation, Lost in Reviews set out to embody the philosophy of this film in a website. Discouraged with the lack of passion in modern day criticism, founders Angela Davis and Ryan Davis created the entertainment review site in 2009. The idea being that, this would be the go-to place for people to find that something that was missing in their life through film or music.

Well, we had a lot of fun arguing and pitching our ideas for what films should win what award and in the end, the crew here at Lost in Reviews are pretty happy with the turn out. There were 31 members voting this year for the KCFCC’s 46th annual vote. Check out the winners below, as well as the films that took second place!
